Air Fryer Lemon Feta Asparagus
We had Maple Mustard Salmon to go with this recipe for Air Fryer Lemon Feta Asparagus.
Lemon and feta go together for me like peanut butter and jelly…Coke and whiskey…peas and carrots…well, you get it.
I love the flavor combo a lot 🙂
Paired with air fryer asparagus, it creates the perfect light side dish to go with any meal.
Making it in the air fryer worked perfectly since the oven was occupied with the salmon.
Both had similar cook times so this was one of those magical times when everything was ready at exactly the same time 🙂
As a cook, you know you gotta give yourself a pat on the back when that happens.
How to make Air Fryer Lemon Feta Asparagus
Place the asparagus in a dish and drizzle with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, some feta cheese crumbles, kosher salt, and pepper.
Toss this together until it is evenly coated.
Now it’s ready for the air fryer.
Place in the basket and add more feta cheese over top.
Set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 10 minutes and viola…it’s done and cooked to crispy perfection 🙂
My favorite part was the charred pieces of feta on top.
I may or may not have picked at the cheese a bit before telling my family that dinner was ready 😉
I planned to add more lemon juice over top, but honestly it had just the perfect amount of lemonyness…yes I just said lemonyness 😉
We made Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer Asparagus a few weeks ago and it was quite a hit with the kids.
So when I told them I was making Air Fryer Lemon Feta Asparagus they said “Yay!”, which is kind of weird reaction from kids about a vegetable.
That should tell you though just how good it really is!
